Welcome to our web site

Our research focuses on molecular and supramolecular systems with interesting functions, supramolecular chemistry in action, at work, with emphasis on conceptual innovation, the integration of unorthodox interactions, and applications to significant challenges in science and society. Functions of current interest include catalysis (electric fields, electromicrofluidics; anion-π interactions; chalcogen, pnictogen bonds), cellular uptake (dynamic covalent exchange cascades; delivery; dynamers) and fluorescent probes to image forces in biology (flippers, commercialized).
